Chapter 84: Outrageous! The Emperor assisted in cheating! (2 / 2)
If he could have written identical characters before, he would have already proven his innocence.
The Crown Grandson stood at a distance from Xu Yanmiao’s desk. As his view was suddenly blocked by the back of a Jinyiwei guard, he frowned in confusion, about to reprimand them, but the guard swiftly stepped aside. A moment later, an inkstone was added to the desk—it had simply been placed there.
Xu Yanmiao, however, had clearly seen what happened. In that instant, the Jinyiwei had sprayed something onto the paper, and immediately, faint blue-purple characters emerged on the surface:
“To fabricate charges, no excuse is hard to find.”
The characters were faint but legible, their brushstrokes matching the original. Xu Yanmiao’s pupils contracted sharply.
[Is this… a starch-iodine reaction?!]
[This is cheating in plain sight!]
The emperor sipped his tea, his expression calm and unreadable.
—If the Crown Grandson and the people wanted the truth, then he would give them a truth.
